Majestic Mysore

HiWelcome to my next weekend
destination.

Mysore, the city of
Palaces has a charm which offers vibrant cultural heritage, temples and scenic
picnic spots.

I had kept my list short
to be able to spend reasonable time at each of the place. Mysore city has a
royal aura and the essence can be felt in all its structures and culture. I had
two days to live the life of this royal city.

Tipu Sultan palacewas the
first place i visited which displays the royal artifacts and antiques of that
period. The palace has a vast lawn around it where people click pictures to
take back the beautiful memories.

Next on my list was the Chamundi hills, which is named after the Goddess Chamundeshwari. The hill
offers beautiful view of the city. The temple of Goddess Chamundeshwari on the
hill has several images on Nandi.

On the second day I had
planned to visit the Mysore zoo followed by the Brindavan Garden.

Mysore zoo is the major
tourist attraction as it’s home to some of the rare animal species.

As the day proceeded, I
had taken the full tour of the zoo. So I decided to take lunch and then move on
to my next destination.

I reached Brindavan garden
by 3:30 pm. I took the entry ticket and entered inside. I was mesmerized by the
beauty of the garden and the adorable layout. The beauty of the garden was
rising with every bit of darkness. As the sun was about to set, the lights on
the flowers and flowing water and fountains start playing with the music. Everything
appeared to be so magical.

Now it was time for the
Musical fountain. Its a lifetime experience watching water dancing to the tunes
of music ...and that too some of the best Bollywood songs. Every string of
water coming out of the fountain was taking such beautiful twist and turns which
was exactly in tune and creating a melodious experience for the viewer and amphitheater.

I would always and surely
recommend everyone to visit Brindavan Garden. And as I talk of it, the memories
still appear to be so fresh and mesmerizing.

Shopping: Mysore is famous
for handicrafts designed by local craftsman out of sandalwood. Don’t forget to
buy authentic sandal wood oil known for its healing properties. Mysore also
attracts tourist for its hand woven silk garments and saris. The place gives
you a perfect holiday destination to enjoy.
